In light of America's renewed interest in racial justice, let us take a moment to remember the Watts riots that were (in part) the impetus for this holiday.
Let us also reflect on the fortitude and vision of our 1960s forebears who deconstructed a culture of shameful injustice for the sake of reconstructing a better way forward.

Always good to be reminded that there were profound events behind every commemoration.
